Trailer:Synopsis: The true-life story of Darby Crash, who became a
Los Angeles punk icon before taking his own life in 1980, provides
the background for this gritty musical biopic. Not long after getting
kicked out of an experimental high school in Los Angeles, charismatic
misfit and major David Bowie fan Jan Paul Beahm (Shane West)
announces that he wants to form a rock band. With his best friend
Georg Ruthenberg (Rick Gonzalez), Beahm creates a group called the
Germs, mainly because their first choice, “Sophistif–k and the Revlon
Spam Queens” costs too much to put on a T-shirt. Beahm appoints
himself lead singer, Ruthenberg becomes guitarist even though he has
no command of the instrument, and Beahm creates new stage names for
them — George becomes Pat Smear, and Jan is now Bobby Pyn. After a
few less-than-impressive attempts to putting Beahm’s “five-year plan”
into action, the Germs begin to click with the addition of sweet but
musically inexperienced Lorna Doom (Bijou Phillips) on bass and
Arizona transplant Don Bolles (Noah Segan) on drums. Bobby Pyn gives
himself another new name, Darby Crash, and the Germs become the talk
of the Los Angeles punk scene with their reckless but literate songs
and Darby’s aggressive performance style. The Germs become big fish
in the small pond of L.A. punk, but when hard drugs enter into the
picture, Darby begins alienating those closest to him, and after the
Germs’ collapse, he’s at a loss for how to bring his grand scheme to
the next level. The real Pat Smear served as a music producer for
What We Do Is Secret, recreating the sound of the Germs and other
seminal L.A. punk groups for the soundtrack, while the surviving
members of the Germs played a series of reunion dates following the
production of the movie, with Shane West standing in as lead singer.
